Ethan was such a little ham.&nbsp;&nbsp; He said my name for the first time this weekend.&nbsp;&nbsp; I sure love that little fellow.&nbsp;&nbsp; He has a deep little voice too.&nbsp;&nbsp; I laughed when they came up on Sunday for the party.&nbsp;&nbsp; Everyone was coming up to him and his daddy and trying to get him to come to them.&nbsp;&nbsp; He would say no and shake his head.&nbsp;&nbsp; When he came to me, he just put his arms in the air like come and get me, and of course I did.</FONT></STRONG>DEREKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07147633287437374201noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495623008348823488.post-82050455393974740102006-03-04T18:04:00.000-08:002008-10-08T16:39:10.434-07:00Mama's sweet smile now<STRONG><FONT size=4>Not sure if I posted this one yet or not, but it was the last time I went home, she smiled that pretty smile while she was washing the dishes.</FONT></STRONG>DEREKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07147633287437374201noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495623008348823488.post-34203010750034229602006-03-04T18:01:00.000-08:002008-10-08T16:39:10.434-07:00Movie Star wearing my sunglasses<P><STRONG><FONT size=4>I saw her staning in line at the supermarket, she had on those big glasses I guess so noone would notice her.&nbsp;&nbsp;

I was the only child also.&nbsp; I look at these pictures and I see two people in love and having fun.&nbsp; My first memories are of Jacksonville, funny that I live here now all these years later.&nbsp; I look at video's of them with me when I was a baby, and know how much they loved me also.&nbsp;&nbsp; More thoughts later.&nbsp;&nbsp; Funny how after years after they've been divorced I still wish they would have stayed as happy as in these pictures.&nbsp; I know exactly where they got these pictures taken, it's funny the place is stil there to this day on the boardwalk.&nbsp; It's probably where my first memory takes place.&nbsp; Mama loved these little photo booths, you would sit in close the curtain, and look in a mirror, and make faces.&nbsp; I thought for years&nbsp; that mirrors were camera's.&nbsp;&nbsp; I used to smile and smile at the mirror at home but never any magical pictures would show up like in those booths.&nbsp; I look at the funny hats and realize they were just children in a way, just having fun.&nbsp; YOUNG LOVE!</FONT></STRONG>DEREKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07147633287437374201noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495623008348823488.post-20743748670461578072006-03-04T08:34:00.000-08:002008-10-08T16:39:10.435-07:00Coming on Six<STRONG><FONT size=4>Can't believe she's going to be six years old in a few weeks.&nbsp;
